Is this product review positive? Title: Very Pretty Review: I was looking for just this type of c.d. It is melodic and relaxing. This is music that will help take you away from the worries of the day. Good for napping, reading, meditating or just listening to. It was nice to listen to the music before I purchased it. I am not dissapointed I listened to it twice in a row after my husband had put it on a c.d. Treat yourself. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very Weak Hooligan Pulp Fiction Review: YET ANOTHER SLIM attempt to update the pulp fiction stylings of Richard Allen's "Skinhead" series, this is only slightly less clumsy than Gavin Anderson's weak Casual (also published by Low Life). Here, there's a small town skinhead hero, his small skinhead football hooligan crew, a beautiful and willing new girl, the obligatory fight and sex scenes, and no development of any kind. If you want authentic pulp fiction, stick to the master: Richard Allen. If you want interesting fiction about football hooligans, stick to John King's impressive trilogy (The Football Factory, Headhunters, England Away) or Kevin Sampson's Awaydays. Answer:
No

Yes

Review: this is the best cleanser i have ever used. scrubs and beads irritate my skin but this worked perfectly fine with me as long as it is used according to the directions.

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: eventually broke me out Review: I have been using this for a couple weeks now, and so far no miracles. It made me break out, badly, on my cheeks and chin but mainly my chin. It hasn't calmed down yet on the chin area, even though I have stopped using the product. If you have sensitive skin, don't use this product! Otherwise, Mario Badescu is a lovely company with good customer service, try there other products, but skip this one! Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: NEAT BOOK! Review: This author is able to explain complex ideas simply. Everything works! Not only is this author knowledgeable, the text reflects actual experience in using Analysis Services to do real projects. The topics are relevant AND the author's sequencing of topics shows great talent as an instructor. A beginner will not get lost. At the same time, experienced users will pick up valuable tips. This book should be nominated for an award! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Lacks the Details Review: The book skims over Analysis Services. Case in point: Nowhere in the book does it cover the unary operators and/or how to apply them to create custom rollups. Actually the term "custom rollup" is not even mentioned in the book (though it is a key term for Analysis Services).Knowing what I know now, I wish I'd saved my money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: As expected and advertised Review: Amazon delivered the book in the exact same condition as advertised. It came on time as well. I am happy Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not what it needs to be Review: This book shows some basic examples by mousing through the menus with a pre-cooked script, but the on-line tutorial does about the same thing. However, there are no explanations why one would select one option over another, no explanations about how to construct different cubes to solve problems and no explanations about the syntax of Analysis services. There is no overriding theory presented that allows one to gain an understanding about how to frame and solve problems using Analysis services nor about what kinds of problems can and can't be solved. After reading the book I have a high level understanding about potentially what can be done, but I have not gained enough information to build anything useful. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: AWESOME OLAP BOOK Review: This is a great OLAP book for SQL SERVER 2000 Analysis Services. It covers ROLAP, MOLAP, and HOLAP. The book is filled with pictures and easy to understand examples to help you learn SQL Server 2000 OLAP features. It is great for people with no OLAP knowledge who want to learn about OLAP and SQL Server 2000 OLAP potential. In addition, this book is great for experienced OLAP developers who want to learn new features of SQL SERVER 2000 Analysis Services.The best book to learn OLAP for SQL SERVER 2000 and to get up to speed with the new OLAP feautures in SQL SERVER 2000. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Nice walk-through if the examples fit your needs Review: The book covers Analysis Services quite well if you are willing to go through the steps that they have for each section. As the name implies it steps you through examples and is NOT a reference guide by any means. It is also not a step by step guide that you can just read. You must be working through the examples while you read or you will get lost pretty fast because many examples build on previous ones. Their coverage of MDX is fairly weak unless you need exactly what they query on. Other than that they cover the topics pretty well. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Handy one volume guide to Ezra Pound Review: The volume is slimmer than I expected but chock full of facts. Sometimes, when engaged in literary explication, you have drawn a blank: "what was that name?" you ask yourself, or "when did that take place?" Having the Pound Encyclopedia means that you've got the answer at your fingertips, and it reduces the pile of books that so often clutter the workspace. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Miss Silver Deals with Death - highly recommended Review: As always from Patricia Wentworth, this book is enchanting. She takes the reader back into the previous century with her characters and their view of the world after the second Great War. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: very cheaply made Review: These boots fell apart the second time I danced in them. The upper separated from the sole. Every time I buy a pair of Pleaser shoes or boots, this seems to happen. On top of that, the toes are extremely narrow and pinchy. I give up on this brand entirely. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Should have bought a piston pump?? Review: I have had the unit for 1 year now. I use it for weed and poison oak control with Roundup.The unit worked very well last time I used it, now it does not pump properly.I did leave some Roundup in it the last time I used it 2 months ago; normally I do clean it after use unless I plan to use again soon. In this age of plastic and synthetic I am quite surprised that the membrane can not take chemicals very well. The piston pump does not have a membrane so would probably do better.The membrane kit is $19.95 and very difficult in my opinion to replace; this indicates a poor design, meaning, It should be a simple thing to replace something that you know will have to be replaced.I bought a Stanley backpack sprayer, will report later on that one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Maintenance shocker Review: I have owned this sprayer for about a year now and the unit has clogged up somehow, even though I'm normally pretty careful to clean after each use. The problem is (as stated by another post) going online to read the instructions on how to take apart, check, clean, and replace parts is WAY too complicated. Maintenance should be limited to "unscrew this, check an o-ring washer and maybe replace, and that's it. If this product was sold to only MIT students it may be ok, or if I had an entire afternoon to attempt the tear down and rebuild it I could get it to work, but at the moment it gives me a headache just to look the instructions and try to decipher them. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't lose sales slip Review: I bought one of these and it worked great...one time! When I tried to use it the second time the pump was frozen and a plastic piece that attaches the handle to the pump broke. I took it to a Solo approved repair shop and since I couldnt find the sales slip they wanted $140 to fix it (I only paid $70+ to buy it new). I called Solo and emailed them and they said they would take care of it but they never did. Now I have to buy another new one (I don't think I'll get another Solo). Very poor customer service but it did work great the one time I got to use it! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: What a disappointment!! Review: This backpack sprayer is literally a piece of junk. We used it one time and the plastic strap buckle broke. The pump does not create enough pressure to to spray properly, the liquid just trickles out. We bought this particular sprayer because our previous Solo sprayer lasted six years with only minor problems. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: professional Review: Good sprayer but very difficult to repair. Engineers who designed this must be laughing out loud. Not meant to fix. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Seems watered down Review: I have used this brand for years and years so I know how it is supposed to work. This bottle does not take eye makeup off...it seems watered down. I do not recommend it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: SRT 4 LeBra Review: Amazon is becoming eBay. They sent a returned item that was previously installed and was missing pieces and ripped from previous buyer. It's dirty to list something new and sen them a returned item. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great product Review: The picture is not representative of the actual product. The bra fits the front end of the SRT-4 perfectly. It is pretty easy to put on but it did take a bit of work to get the nostril area. I took a trip recently and the bra worked well as expected. However, it does take a lot of work to use it. You can't leave it on there for long, or when it's raining. The bra is hard to clean. You can't clean your car if the bra is on. So if you buy it, make sure you are willing to put in some work. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Bogus product Review: I received the product as promised. I have used this perfume for over 4 years and this recent purchase does not smell like perfume. It may not even be perfume. I am sending this product back. I will buy direct from the manufacturer. This should have zero stars. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Better than you'd expect Review: Unlike so many "tribute" albums done by marginal groups, this one cooks. I'd buy it just for the Ritchie Havens "Here Comes the Sun". Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The best tribute compilation out there! Review: Simply the best tribute compilation out there...the styles are varied from a touch of the 70's to the 80's....immediate standouts are Nilsson's well crafted Beatles medley "You Can't Do That" and Sioux and The Banshees "Dear Prudence" with that unforgettable 80's feel to it...Aretha Franklin turns in a soulful rendition of "Let it Be"...all that is missing is perhaps Joe Cocker's "With A Little Help From My Friends" and Elton john's "Lucy in the Sky..." to make this set complete...perhaps and hopefully there will be a volume two! Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: One of the best health supplements I've ever used Review: I have been taking Sun Chlorella Granules for about 5-6 months now, usually two packets a day, once upon waking and once after lunch. I pour some liquid in my mouth, then pour a packet in and swallow. I have found that it gives me a nice energy boost, has helped to clear my head of brain fog, and also has worked to normalize my stomach and bowels.The enhanced energy effect takes place fairly quickly (10 minutes), and really helps me to fight work fatigue after lunch and get a second wind to make it through the rest of the day. The brain fog diminishment started to appear after 1 month and stomach/bowel normalization took about 2-3 months to really kick in. Sun Chlorella will stimulate your bowels and help detoxify your body in this way.I have also read that it leeches toxins and radiation out of your system, so if you work around computers and/or powerlines as I do this is an added preventative benefit. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Cant live without Chlorella !!! Review: I love this product! My friend introduced me to it and now I cant function without it. It comes in little individual packets that I can easily pour into my morning shakes. It gives me all the amino acids my body needs. I REALLY feel energized for my day. It gives me more natural energy. I take this and my Monavie and NO more coffee cravings! I sleep better throughout the night and wake up more refreshed. I feel healthy and I can think more clear! :) Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointed/not what expected Review: I, too, was hoping the book would share actual stories like "One Last Time". I was highly disappointed as I could not get interested in how the show "came to be" and how the "guides" helped John make decisions regarding the show. Quite frankly, after reading this (well, I couldn't even finish it), I am under the distinct impression that John is a sell-out and wrote this book for pure self-promotion and, obviously, profit. I think a lot of his fans, like me, were really yearning for some more stories about his psychic connections. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Crossing Over Review: I have always thought that my father & brother are with me. They let me know in some silly ways that they know what's going on in the family.So this book just helps to validate that I'm not crazy. There really is someone looking out for me. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: With an open mind and a healthy dose of skeptisism Review: Years of research had led me to strongly believe in reincarnation but I did not believe at all in channeling. I considered mediums merely people who ripped off the grieving. I had heard John Edward could talk to the dead but did not believe it at all. Ask enough vague questions and something will click with someone. Yes, I was a skeptic. Having stumbled upon the Crossing Over show I was quickly enamored, often left in tears as I watched the readings. This book focuses on his own early skeptisism and the evolution of his abilities, his failures, his successes and his own search for signs from his late mother. Is it all staged? I'd have to have a reading myself to be 100% convinced but by doing as he asks "opening your mind" and keeping "a healthy skeptisism" I have come to believe in the possibilty. An excellent book for the believer and skeptic alike. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Amazing Review: What an insightful book! Hard to describe...you need to read it for yourself and then make a decision! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The most boring self-defense book I have ever read Review: ... John Edward just discusses how he got his show up and describes how he has had to defend his "gift". I do not recommend this book - it has no real insight into his pyschic abilities/talents. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: fan of john edward show not book Review: i'm a fan of john edward and i watch as often as possible. he gives so much of himself to help others heal. i could not finish this book. i went half way and put it in my "get around to it" pile. john's gift is one on one interaction. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Oy Review: Let's be real, folks. When's the last time someone who "crossed over" told Edward, "This place sucks. I hate it here. I sure wish I was alive." Or, "Who did you say is trying to reach me? I always hated her guts, and I especially hate them now." Why are ALL these people so happy and forgiving? If it's that uniformly warm and fuzzy in the afterlife, why doesn't Edward just say so in a three-minute prime-time special and then never appear on TV again?Note to Gary Candy (below): If you can't reach Edward via e-mail, you might try waiting until after you die. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Tedious Review: Tedious narcisistic ramblings of a charlatan. His prose is dry and self-indulgent, with little credible sympathy for the people he is deceiving and swindling. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: The hype was a little too much for this book Review: I'm a regular watcher of John Edward, but unfortunately the hype overtook this book. It's like his life memoirs but he has only been doing Crossing Over for a short time. I found the book a little arrogant Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: From John's Heart to Your Heart Review: I'm a religous viewer of john's program everyday. john's book is as compelling as his program is. john's show and books are every bit of honesty and sincerity. his words on black and white are breathe taking and sends a sheiver up your spine. i sincerly pray that john keeps writing and shareing his gift with us.my Praises and prayers go out to you from my heart. There arn't that many honest mediums. I pray that you always stay in this state of mind. always a religous viewer follower. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Psychic sellout Review: If you want to know how to break into show biz and be famous, buy this book. If you are hurting and need advice from the other side, Read George Anderson or Rosemary Altea. The arrogance in this book was very off-putting Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Hmmmmm Review: This book while well written is not exactly beleivable. John Edwards seems to target people when they are most vaunerable and makes them believe. In a way this is not all bad, he does give them some closure that they would not nessesarly have even if there is no aspect of reality in it.Overall I found this whole thing rather sketchy and wonder what the appeal is. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This book is NOT what the title suggests Review: John Edward is an excellent psychic HOWEVER, this book is about how he got his television program and NOT about spirituality at all. More about his ego and how many people he had to get to know to make it big. Sadly, he states in his book that he would never charge prices based on what the market will bear - but his private readings are $750.00 which means he has given into the mercenary side. My goal was to study metaphysics and spirituality - and this book is about how to get your own television show. I'm not sure how many people who wrote reviews actually read it to the very end.Save your money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This is a great book :-) Review: I love reading John Edward's books and watching his show. It is an inspiration to me. I believe him to be a sincere and caring person. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: not a favorite Review: I didn't realize that this book is mostly about Edward getting his show on TV, sometimes in excruciating detail. The first 60 pages contain a less detailed autobiography than the one which can be found in "One Last Time." The rest is all about his rise to success and I could really not care less about that. "One Last Time," although not successful when it first came out, was much more interesting - all about his development as a psychic/medium, his eventual adopting of it as a career, what he actually does in a reading and a number of stories about people he has helped. Although "One Last Time" is apparently out of print, there are still plenty of copies available online, and much more worth your time and money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Crossing Over - what a ride! Review: One of the nicest things about reading John's work is that it is very conversational. That makes it easy to read and a little easier to appreciate just how difficult the whole process was and is. There was certainly no 'magic' in this latest experience. I cannot imagine having to endure such an emotional ride just to get the tv people to understand they really didn't have any control over 'destiny'. The fun part is having them come to their own realizations - I got several good laughs out of those excerpts. For those that have not yet read this book I say sit back and be prepared for some amazing reading. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: You won't be able to put it down. Review: This is one of those books that will have you crying one minute and laughing out loud the next. The stories are funny, entertaining, interesting, touching, and incredibly uplifting. This is not just another book from just another psychic medium; John Edward really speaks to the reader. His honesty and opennesss is what makes this book so unique as he gives a fascinating account of what goes on behind the scenes of not just his television show, but also his life. A must-read for believers and skeptics alike. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: John Edward's Best Review: I love all of John Edward's books, but as he goes on to another book, it seems better each time. He's the best at explaining in detail all that he is trying to get thru to his reader so they understand. In these books you'll feel the emotion of his words and you feel like if you put the book down, you might see something come out of the book. Do you understand what I'm saying? You can feel everything you are reading and as for me, I wish I could just crawl in the book! You're the best, John Edward. Keep on writing! Sincerely, Debbie Britt Hill Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: John Edwards at his best Review: John is open and honest in this book. He is a true leader in the field of psychic phenomena.A recommended read for all ages! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not as expected Review: To me the book goes into to much detail about the TV show productions and dosn't tell enough about what he actually does (Talks to the deceased ) .His "readings" are mentioned very briefly in the book . It talks alot about the TV show production and his travels , and also about his family and friends and how he got into the business . I am sure the show has to be better than the book itself .Lilla Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A total disappointment...and I was a fan! Review: If you've read at least one book on the afterlife, YOU KNOW MORE than John Edward does. He describes spiritual matters like a high school student writing a termpaper on a topic he hasn't researched enough. From a person with several years of psychic work behind him, this was very disappointing. He either has nothing to say or he simply doesn't know what he's talking about and is trying to [immitate] it. In either case, he is an extremely poor writer and he didn't hold my interest.A couple of the anecdotes were slightly interesting, but most of it is just pointless fluff, in my humble opinion. If you want personal anecdotes of a psychic medium AND some basic info on the afterlife, James Van Praagh's first book is a much better choice. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not as good as "One last Time" or "What if god were sun" Review: I'm a John Edward fan, but didn't enjoy this book. In fact, I couldn't finish it. I loved "ONE LAST TIME" and "WHAT IF GOD WERE THE SUN". This book is difficult to follow because too many names are introduced, too much technical lingo. You need to take notes just to keep it all straight. I understand it's an auto-biography and in life, several people cross your path, but this was just too much. I think he could have simplified his story and left the names on the acknowledgment page. Sorry, John...didn't like this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Crossing Over Review: Crossing Over was purchased thru Amazon and the service and delivery were great, however, the book wasn't. It was mainly how John Edward got started and then maybe got too big for his britches, I felt he was bragging a lot and didn't care for the book, although I did like his other one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not what I wanted Review: This book was not what I wanted, it was not really a spiritual guide or share, it was commercial and about competition and efforts to get media coverage. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Crossing Over by John Edward Review: I bought this book on the basis that it was identified by Amazon.com as being in the same category as the James Van Praagh books. I was deeply disappointed. It is primarily a book about how the author played the media game to become "famous". Who cares about all that "hollywood" stuff? It is very short on psychic content and spiritual insight. It does have a few touching scenes. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointed Review: I loved "One Last Time" and I really enjoy John's show so I couldn't wait for Crossing Over to come out. When I picked up the book and read the back cover, I couldn't wait to get home and start reading. I was disappointed though, the book says, "the story behind the stories" which leads one to believe it was about the 'behind the scenes' stories of the readings he has done on real people. This book seemed just like an autobiography of John and how he got his show. I do like him very much but really didn't expect to read about how many TV show executives he went to and how many meetings he had to have in order to get his show. Don't get me wrong, the book was not a total disappointment, maybe it is just the way the book was marketed. I really enjoyed One Last Time for it's spiritual content, however this book seemed less SPIRITUAL and more COMMERCIAL and that is why I was DISAPPOINTED. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good Read to much Repeat Review: I have read all of John Edward books since the sudden passing of my 26 year old daughter 2 months ago. One Last Time was a great comfort to me and has helped with the devestating grief. The beginning chapters of Crossing Over is not well written and to much repeat information. The second half is excellent. I too expected more real stories of people making contact with the other side. I was disappointed by that, but I enjoyed the book. I have read many books on grief. Is there anything new out there? Is there anything that deals with losing a grown child. I can't find anything that is written from this prospective. Any help with this would be appriciated. Enjoy the book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointed Review: Bought this book as I thought it would be talking about Crossing over and the usual stuff John does but the whole book just talks about how John got to where he is today. Boring and not what we brought it for. Answer:

Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Refreshing Review: This book really helped me believe there is life after death and that our loved ones never leave us. John Edward does not go into to much excessive detail about Heaven, but that is what I liked about the book. I felt it was honest. John describes his journey as a medium and the journey of his television show in a way that is entertaining. He tells stories of real people he has helped. I read a book by Sylvia Brown and felt she went way overboard in details of the other side and how life and death works. It left me feeling like I just finished a true con-artists book. John's book was the opposite. It made me feel confident that my loves ones are still here with me and that I will see them again some day. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: An interesting look behind the scenes of a modern phenomenon Review: I read this book because I've often heard (and thought myself) that what Edward does is shamefully exploitative. I was curious to see if he had an elaborate "vision" of the afterlife, a la the always ridiculous Silvia Browne. I was really surprised with what I found. Edward seems like a genuine, sincere, and likable guy. The focus of the book is his personal rise to fame, which seems to be attributable to hard work and chancing to meet and impress the right people - sort of like anything else. He is very convincing in his assertions that his goal is to help people first and foremost, and the money and attention has simply followed. Personally, I'm not convinced of the existence of his spirit-world "Boys," as he calls his guides, but there does definitely seem to be something unique about this man, and whatever the source, he seems capable of some remarkable things. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Life Review: "Crossing Over" was the first book of three written by John Edward that I read. It is in fact this book that prompted me to read his other two. "Crossing Over" is more than just a collection of psychic medium readings that have been preserved by John and investigated after the readings. It's an autobiographic work as well and I found it most pleasurable to not only read this work by John but found myself being part of it as well. I found that I was brought back to many of my own memories as a young boy and young man that I could have just as easily been a very close friend of John's as we had grown together. So similar that in fact I'm now curious about my own phychic abilities as well. One word of warning though, don't read this book without tissues near by; your going to need them. Thanks John. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Real Thing Review: You will not want to put this book down. Good reading the whole way through. You will cross over into John Edwards world....He is the real thing. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Perhaps the Title but Not the Book Review: Crossing Over is a well written book in terms of style and presentation. However, the content does not convince this reader of the validity of Edwards ability to communicate with the deceased. Crossing Over pursuaded this reader that Edwards strong point is the power of suggestion rather than paranormal capabilities. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: wake up sheep Review: My goodness, how John Edward changed my life. First he told me how I had someone close to me pass away once. How did he figure that out? He is not of this Earth. Then he told me how my grandfather misses me very much. Profound!!! By the way, to get one hour of programming they have to edit out about 3 hours of his "misses". He's a fraud, a huckster selling snake oil. If only it was harmless. But naive people put actual stock into what he does. To take advantage of people like this is disgusting and low.

Is this product review positive? Title: Asterix and Obelix Review: Thanks to the magic potion of the resident druid, Getafix, Asterix and Obelix triumphantly defend the borders of their village against Caesar's legions, to the legions' great dismay ("I hate those Gauls"). My personal favorite is "Asterix and Cleopatra" where they travel to Egypt to help Getafix's buddy Edifis win an architectural contest between Ceasar and Cleopatra. Oh, and the Sphinx's nose? Obelix did that.In this graphic novel series there is great storytelling, superb drawing, awful puns, wonderful sound effects (yes, really), and sneakily, insidiously, while you're laughing, you're learning. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Great, if not quite the original. Review: I first read Asterix the Gaul when I was seven or eight years old, and loved it. From then on, I raided libraries finding every Asterix book I could lay my little fingers on, and when I reached high school, the French versions of the books were given to us as a fun way to become familiar with the language.(I didn't like that much. I didn't want to struggle through trying to understand Asterix, I wanted to read through and laugh at it. But it was still a better idea than the rest of the stuff they threw at us.)This edition of the book is still excellent, and still funny. It's missing a few details compared to the original, as some other reviewers have commented, but it's not the kind of thing that new young readers will notice is missing. If you're an adult looking to pick up a copy of the book you treasured as a child, then it may strike a little sore; but for new readers, this really can't come highly recommended enough. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great variety of alt. country Review: This is another great mix of alt. country by Bloodshot Records and with 42 songs on two discs you are guaranteed to find quite a few songs you will love and maybe some artists you haven't heard of before. There are great originals and cover songs just like when Bloodshot released "Down To The Promised Land: 5 Years of Bloodshot Records". You get Wayne Hancock & Hank III doing "Juke Joint Jumping" together and it can't get much better than that. You also get songs by The Meat Purveyors, The Bottle Rockets, Old 97's, Split Lip Rayfield, Bobby Bare Jr, Scott H. Biram to name a few of the big names on here. This collection might not be quite as good as "Down To The Promised Land", but still well worth having. Answer:
Yes

Not a problem Review: This book is so well written, so riveting, and so historically significant, it is truly one of the rare books for all seasons and all literary tastes.Rosey has managed to bury the villian and expose the facts about the Scopes Trial-of-the-century so masterfully that the reader will surely misjudge the outcome and gain an invaluable history lesson without even being aware this could be a textbook. In fact, were I an American history teacher, it would most certainly be on my list of required reading.It really should be on yours. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Was Disappointed it's a Workbook Review: Be aware that this is a workbook, and although the information is interesting to a young child who craves it, the activities in the workbook are not appropriate for young children. The print in this book is very small, too small for young children in my opinion. The book format looks like it is geared to older primary students, but the depth of information seems inadequate for that age bracket.The book on the whole is interesting. It gives facts curious children like, such as what Bush likes to eat, tells about Mrs. Bush, and the family pets. I do not regret my purchase, but wished I had known a bit more beforehand. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Really good rice Review: This is really good and different rice. It makes a great side dish and we add it to soups. I didn't want to order 6 at first not knowing if we would like it. Went to iherb we got one 16 ounce bag for just $3.31 plus received free shipping and $5 off my order with a coupon POB861. If you like rice at all you should really like this for a different (and better) taste. Now we will order the Amazon 6 pack of this. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: It's not "RED" rice, it's "BROWN", misleading product label Review: Yes, I should have read the whole description, so I take part of the blame. However, I can't see how in any way how this rice could be considered "RED" as stated in the title above:"A Gourmet Aromatic Whole Grain RED Rice"Nowhere on the front of the bag does it clarify that it's brown rice as it does on the back.I'm not saying it's bad rice, just that it's not RED as the title clearly states.There is a specific type of rice known as "red rice". This is NOT it. When it arrived in the mail, the front label says "RED RICE" on the back it says it's brown rice.So, yes, I should have read the whole description closer, but just calling brown rice red on the label doesn't make it so.Disappointed, will not be buying any more Lundberg products. Sorry, but you ticked me off with your misleading labeling. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: a difficult biography of a difficult writer Review: Granted, Anais Nin, having spent her life veiling and concealing truths, is a most difficult individual to research. This fact, however, offers no excuse for the writing style of this book. The use of the present tense serves to obscure the meaning of references to the present day. In the text, does "today," mean the year being discussed, or the year of writing? In additon, Fitch mercilessly peppers a paragraph with names, only to use an imprecise pronoun in attributing a quotation. Who was it that said that again? Random comparasions to other writers, (i.e. anne Sexton) spring up in one sentence, neither led up to nor substantiated. Bare facts are laid down side by side with purple prose and phrasal flights of fantasy.In short, the self-consciousness, name-dropping, and obscuring of facts makes this book only slightly less obsfucating than the writing of Nin herself. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: HAP HAZARD RESEARCH Review: There are many things that are just factually wrong in this book. I recommend reading "Anais Nin : Literary Perspectives" by Suzanne Nalbantian. This is a book that is actually written by people who studied and/or knew Anais Nin. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Very good, but not her best work Review: Sandra Benitez continues to evolve as a writer, and has certainly avoided the trap of writing the same book over and over. This novel begins in the American midwest, and with a much more conventional feel then her previous works. But it then move into Mexico, and starts to pick up the latin magic of her earlier books. The story also becomes deeper and more nuanced, and thereby more compelling. Always marvelously written, by the end the story is a compelling mixture of midwestern solidity, psychological insight, and Mexican mysticism. It combines the very American dissection of a family gone bad with the overlay of latin magic revealing the facts. This helps to maintain the uncertainty about the outcome and the sense of discovery much longer than a more conventional American novel would have. This was not the Benitez work I liked the best, but it is an enjoyable read. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Cheesy story, maybe interesting if you're Oaxaca bound Review: A friend recommended the book after hearing that we were going to visit Oaxaca. The Oaxaca information was good, but the story was pretty cheesy. The subplot about Annie & Joe was pretty hard to believe. I know Benitez is a famous author, but I'm going to have a difficult time picking up one of her books again. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: this flavor too salty, try chipotle Review: I first bought Chipotle flavor and love that one. That is my favorite flavor. The Gouda flavor is much too salty for my taste, so I will not buy this flavor again. The quality of the popcorn and amount you get in this product is excellent. I will be trying other flavors in future, just not this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent popcorn! Review: This is by far the best bagged popcorn I've ever eaten. The smoked gouda flavor isn't really subtle, but who wants subtle in a snack like this? It comes out and whacks you on the head--HEY, I'M POWDERED GOUDA--and has a great, full-bodied flavor. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: They don't taste too good. Review: Not only is the popcorn incredibly salty, but they do not taste very crispy. Quite stale. Overall, disappointing. I sent my stuff overseas with delivery within 4 days after receiving them, so it is not that I kept them too long. Too bad, they are too far to return. Overall a disappointing experience. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent read! Review: The book is extremely well plotted, fast-paced, with very well-drawn characters. Excellent use of language. I'm not usually a fan of crime-drama, but this thing had me up all night. Very gritty read. Highly reccomended! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Mediocre, at best Review: I got this book based on all the glittering stars and glowing reviews on this site. After having tortured myself by sticking with it to the inept end, I can only conclude that there must have been a tear in the fabric of the universe letting through the readers of Bizzaro world to write them, because this book stank. The premise sounded intriguing, but the actual plot, and I use the term very loosely here, was dull, had poor focus and little substance. The ending read like the author suddenly tired of writing the book and just abruptly finished it off. Instead of a mastermind, Mission impossible like plan that would actually be needed to take a major cruise liner, especially after the Achille Lauro, this book describes essentially a walk onto the ship that you'd have to be brain dead to believe. Fast paced? Unh,unh. Thriller? I don't think so. Put this on your 'avoid' list. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Predictable Plot Review: Just finished listening to the full audio version (unabridged) of Fever by Sean Rowe. The concept of hi-jacking a cruise ship should have lead to an exciting thriller, but, it didn't. Frankly long and rather dull with a simple and predictable plotline. Answer:
No
